Our work at Crossview Covenant Church consisted of two projects. We added seven additional classrooms, an office, storage space and restrooms in the children’s and the 5Cs Preschool wing. These classrooms were added to foster continued growth with Crossview’s 5Cs program. The entrance to the children’s wing was reworked to create a better system for check-ins to keep safety as a top priority. The other half of the facility was renovated to be more functional. The former Great Room was split and built out with new carpet, paint and additional walls to transform it into an office and the middle school and high school lounge. Through the Construction Manager at Risk method, this project was completed on time and under budget.

Brennan Construction worked as a CM At-Risk with the CMSM to coordinate various design aspects, schematically price, extensively value engineer, and enter into a guaranteed maximum-not-to-exceed contract amount.
This beautiful project and building repurpose finished on schedule and under budget allowing the CMSM to incorporate various design and exhibit enhancements.
The building, a 1940’s era steel truss roof/brick pier building originally housed the City’s buses.
During construction, the building and site revealed several surprises including drilled piles in lieu of a conventional concrete spread footing foundation and soil contamination requirements.

The architectural wall system required flooring to be installed underneath the track. With a hard finish date in mid-August, we coordinated an early installation of flooring, and provided full protection of new flooring while the project progressed. Ultimately, the finish date was met, and the finishes were protected.
The Storage Room was not up to code due to added sheetrock walls. Brennan Construction worked with the Owner and City inspector to develop a plan of action. The certificate of occupancy was released in time for move-in.
Brennan Construction coordinated a fast-track installation of carpet during off hours to regain precious working days due to unforeseen delays in carpet procurement. This was done at no extra cost to the Owner.
